Trying to put it together

Ok so from the 2 weeks that I have started getting into this this is what I have learned. Microswitches are the best to use because they are more reliable and can be change out easy. If you want to build controls you need to connect the NO to an I-Pac and connect that to a keyboard? You don't actually have to solder to create the controls...Hmmm If you want to hack a controller you need to shave the board till you get to the copper then you need to solder wire to that then you solder the wire to the micoswitch? Also TV MONITOR ARE VERRRRRRRY SCARY!!!!

Not posting doesn't make you a noob, ignorance, stupidity, laziness, and talking trash make you a noob.
Just cause I don't post in threads doesn't mean I don't read the threads...

At this point, I strongly suggest buying saint's book ... I bought two copies and both were worth the $$$ for me.
I say this without trying to offend, but you are taking bits and pieces of posts here and you're not really putting the pieces together.
